Got a question and not sure if it's been asked on here. Has anyone here been having issues with utilizing "Hey Siri" on your iPhone, but it's answering on the HomePod Mini? I was in another room and I was trying to use Hey Siri on my iPhone, but the HomePod Mini kept answering. Any ideas on this?
 
the HomePod will always take over, if you want to use your phone you have to use the button to activate

it used to be if the phone was unlocked and the screen on, the phone would answer, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Oddly the device that is in close proximity is my phone and the "Hey Siri" command does not function. I guess I am forced to press on the button to activate "hey Siri". As I type this post I have my MBP, Apple watch , and Iphone - all three have the Hey Siri feature turned on but when I say the command all three don't respond to the command. If I raise my voice really loud, the homepod mini which is in another room will respond to the Hey Siri command which I find this an issue because the device in front of me don't respond with the voice command "hey siri". I get that I am to have the Hey Siri feature work with the three devices in front of me but I have to TOUCH /force a command to prompt "hey siri"
